Jason Newsted Reveals Eddie Van Halen Tribute Concert Plans That Fell Apart!
May 1600:15:35Tap to summarize🎸 On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we read and break down Jason Newsted’s powerful vision for the ultimate Eddie Van Halen tribute concert — and why it STILL hasn’t happened. 🤯 Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted reveals he was personally contacted by Alex Van Halen back in 2021 about plans for a tribute show honoring Eddie. But according to Joe Satriani, the project ultimately “fell apart,” and now Newsted is sharing exactly how he believes a proper tribute should be done. Newsted says an Eddie Van Halen celebration can’t just be another rock concert — it has to be a true honor event. He even throws out an incredible idea: “Have Nuno Bettencourt and Tom Morello line up a bunch of bad motherf**kers” to perform Eddie’s legendary songs in a massive all-star tribute. 🔥 But Jason also raises a major question: Should the event honor Eddie alone… or celebrate ALL of Van Halen?
